- DRAFT TIA bulletin: Traffic Management in ATM Networks Over
Satellite Links
- Abstract:
This report presents a survey of the traffic
management issues in the designing and implementation of satellite-ATM
networks. First a reference satellite-ATM network architecture is presented
along with an overview of the service categories available in ATM networks.
The error characteristics of satellite channels, and techniques to improve
the error characteristics, and the impact on ATM network performance are
then discussed. A delay model for satellite networks and the major
components of delay and delay variation are described. A survey of design
options for TCP over UBR, GFR and ABR services in ATM is presented next. The
main focuses is on traffic management issues. Several recommendations on the
design options for efficiently carrying data services over satellite-ATM
networks are presented.
